This beautiful Zassenhaus manual coffee mill comes from Germany, a European place where people make things to last for a long time. It requires you to use your own hands and muscles, which might be a shocking concept for those who prefer loud electric machines that wake up the whole street just to make one quick cup of sad morning fluid.
The grinder has a very strong mechanism made from hardened steel that cuts your coffee beans instead of smashing them like bad electric blenders do. The body is made from solid beech wood which feels very honest and nice in your hands. You can easily adjust the knurled screw from fine espresso to coarse filter.
The Zassenhaus brand has been making these mills since 1867, surviving many strange global shopping trends. An interesting piece of history is that people used to hold this heavy wooden box tightly between their knees to get the best leverage while grinding, which is a very fun thing to see before you have had your caffeine.
Believe it or not, this Zassenhaus Manual Coffee Grinder is also available on Amazon.
